Cmos Bios

In a moment of pure madness - exhilarated by the joy of having at last reinstalled my HSP modem thanks to help from this BBS - BillyBob - I put my CMOS and BIOS back to original settings...
When I boot up now, I've got an old setup 640x640 (?) - screen icons from back in January before I reinstalled ME - old net access icons, no access to Office 2000 installed more recently.
No Internet access.
When I call up scanregw /restore it just offers registers from early january.
Despair...
Is there some way of finding out what those settings might have been? Are there one or two key settings that a Pentium III would have?
Anyone out that know how to put this right?
Please?

Hi Keithb
So sorry your post slipped by........were you able to solve this one?

### thanks for getting back to me - I did figure it out. I had another WME installed on my second hard disk and my BIOS changes had put the boot up back to the second hard disk...

You don't suppose I'm depriving a village somewhere of an idiot?
### you and me both! The same village is longing to get its hands on me too!

I do have new problems (the WME machine belongs to my daughter) with my own W2k Pro machine. I downloaded "all" the Windows patches and installed them some weeks back when I had to clean up the blasted worm - all 32k of them - and ever since my machine takes about a minute and a half to shut down. Ever come across this sort of problem?
It was made worse by the fact that the machine rebooted each time so for a while I had to wait patiently so as to press the cut-out button at exactly the right moment.
Now I've disabled "automatic reboot on error" so I get the "blue screen" and I can switch off when I see it as I drink my coffee...
Is there a log file somewhere I can start to try to find the error which causes the reboot?
See you on the village green...
Thanks again
Keith
